adjacent-possible
Skill3 starsChanged 7 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Explore nearby problems, verticals, user personas, and angles — the ideas a curious peer or novice would surface that the user would not have thought of alone. Applies Raman's magnetic-field metaphor from the SPC talent density essay. Every output must be at least one step outside the user's stated comfort zone. Use when asked to "what am I missing", "adjacent ideas", "what else could this be", "explore sideways", "what's nearby", "I'm stuck in my lane", or "help me think outside my domain". Proactively invoke this skill (do NOT answer directly) when the user has explored their North Star domain deeply but seems to be iterating inside a narrow corner of it, or when they're asking for fresh perspectives. Use alongside /idea-shotgun, not instead of it. (worldbuilder)

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈9
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
